How to dress like you were born and raised on the super-chic streets of Paris? Start with Elizabeth and James’ covetable leather coat – which is giving us serious Belle de Jour vibes – then dress it down with some bright white jeans. A few choice accessories will bring the look together: classic chain jewelry, Matrix-style sunglasses and a baker boy cap might be an unlikely mix, but they’ll add an air of all-important French insouciance and individuality to an otherwise understated outfit.
